XChange UK 2026: Registration OPEN

CRN’s two-day channel partner conference is coming to the Midlands in March 2026

CRN is delighted to announce that XChange UK, our flagship conference for channel partners, will return March 10-11.

The UK channel is on the threshold of a new era.

Channel leaders agree that tech is reshaping customer conversations, partner business models, and the skills needed to stay relevant.

Cybersecurity remains front of mind as threats grow more complex. Meanwhile, cloud, managed services, and telecoms continue to converge, creating new opportunities—and new competition.

XChange UK will once again bring together the leaders navigating this landscape: solution providers, distributors, vendors, and innovators who are rewriting the rules of the game.

This year’s event saw partnerships forged, debates ignited, and strategies sharpened (and even featured a magician to entertain our senior partner executives).

“Attending XChange UK was an incredibly valuable experience,” said Vincent O’Hanlon, CEO of VitriX.

“The speakers were engaging, and the real-world case studies provided practical takeaways I could immediately apply”.

For 2026, XChange will go a step further and focus on the skills, relationships, and foresight that will help partners not just survive disruption but use it to their advantage.

Agenda topics include AI, quantum computing, the regulation ripple effect, and the next era of work and technology – plenty for business owners and executives to sink their teeth.

As ever, XChange UK will feature boardroom appointments with vendors, allowing our attendees to enter into frank discussions with the channel’s leading technology suppliers in intimate groups.

After three years in the South of England, XChange UK will be travelling northwards to the Black Country for 2026, with next year’s event taking place at The Belfrey, Sutton Coldfields, just outside Birmingham.

Join us to step outside your day-to-day, engage with peers, and shape the future of the channel.
